I think Click is confusing the two of us. I'm the one who uses 1/1000 for snails and 1/2000 for turtles at ISO 10 000

Seriously, my absent mindedness led me to shoot this at ISO 10 000. I was so excited about the beautiful pose and here I am looking at it on the computer and it's all grainy. Fortunately, I woke up a little further down the trail.

Forgot to mention the baby was about 5 minutes old and had just exited from this shell. Unfortunately, I missed the action as I was unaware it was going on. This isn't the best focus but it's all I took.

And that wasn't all the excitement. We went to Elk Island national park for a couple hours and this guy got up from rolling in the dirt when I went closer, so I just shot from where I was in spite of the grass! What a grouch. When he ran off it was clear he could outrun me.
